Froots Signs Brand Name Franchising, LLC to Provide Sales and Marketing Services.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- Froots Franchising Companies has signed a long term agreement with Brand Name Franchising, LLC (BNF), to manage sales and marketing operations for its Froots Smoothies franchises throughout the United States and Canada.

According to Froots President Chris Cavallo, the Rosemont, Illinois-based company will identify prospective Froots franchisees and offer them a turnkey solution to getting their businesses up and running. The company provides comprehensive support that includes assistance with site selection, lease negotiation, restaurant construction/design, and equipment purchasing.

"BNF's 30 years of experience supporting franchise concepts and their long-standing relationships with leading shopping center developers will give our Froots franchisees a competitive edge in virtually every aspect of launching a successful business," said Cavallo.

BNF will help Froots franchisees identify the ideal location for their units using a network of real estate brokers and extensive contacts with developers of malls and retail centers from Anchorage, Alaska to Miami, Florida. "Their relationships with national leasing agents for major developers enables BNF to put our franchisees in touch with the right people" noted Cavallo.

"That, combined with their expertise in construction management, gives our Froots franchisees the ability to build their units at a considerable cost-savings over comparable franchise businesses."

Mark Krebs, president of Brand Name Franchising noted, "We are extremely excited to partner with Froots in their franchising efforts as they are positioned to become a leader in the exploding smoothie industry."
